Rowan's unique blend of Falkland Islands fine merino, baby alpaca and silk will create insulating and cosy knits with a subtle sheen. Island Blend yarn comes in a colourful array of shades, making it a perfect choice for fairisle and intarsia projects. Milled and dyed in the U.K.

The first 7 patterns for Island Blend are in the normally print-only Rowan Magazine 66 launching on August 15th, 2019, but as a special treat to make up for this slightly delayed launch date, the 3 patterns pictured above are available now as digital downloads from Ravelry or the Rowan website! Urban Yarns can also purchase and print these for in-store customers through Ravelry In-Store Sales.
